How should I plan a windy or coastal garden?
The direct answer
Start with your closest regional baseline, make wind exposure explicit, and choose a smaller, protected first plan before adding tender or tall plants.
The trade-off to keep visible
A mild coastal baseline can hide a very exposed individual site. Wind can dry soil, damage young growth and make a calendar date less useful than current conditions.
Next practical action
Choose your regional baseline, add Exposed and windy to the planner, and review the current-month protection tasks.
